...military wrangle. North Korea, which Clinton drew into negotiations as a "state of concern," has been downgraded again to "rogue state" by Bush. Three weeks ago, he embarrassed the President of South Korea, who has been trying to foster a warming trend, by saying the U.S. was in no rush to do more business with North Korea because he wasn't sure Pyongyang could be trusted. The Administration has taken a decidedly hands-off stance toward peacemaking, including in the Middle East. And though right-wingers are howling that he is easing up on Iraq sanctions, Bush was quick...

The whole scene takes three minutes but it plays like slow motion. "Cut," cries the director.

De Senneville also designs garments with optical fiber trim that glows in the dark courtesy of a concealed battery...

My first digs were in a feminist communal household on Potrero Hill, where we shared meals, child care and feelings for a grand total of $500 a month rent, or $150 for my share. It was the perfect arrangement, allowing me to live...
